Bunk

Erie County's property tax rate is lower than many other counties around the State? It should be added that together with school taxes, sales taxes, income taxes, etc. NYS local tax burden is the HIGHEST IN THE NATION! Look at CNN's Money section today "Taxes: Best and Worst states."

Only if you want to continue to drive more people out of Erie County and further degrade the tax base, then yeah, it's typical WNY "fairness"

More taxes to pay for culture and pensions

It is pretty clear who the Democrats really support, and it is not the already taxed middle class. Why should Erie county pay higher taxes to pay for employees pensions and cultural programs? Cultural spending increases at tax payer expense is wrong whenthose groups could raise their own funds.

Democratic Mantra

Always Blame someone else--they don't want to lead they only want to blame. It is the Democratic State Party that gives the Cadillac welfare program.
